The Pitt Boss Confirms Season 3 Time Jump — And Who's (And Who's Not) Coming Back For The Next Shift - TVLine Some context for next season and some insight into 2. Guess I’ll spoil tag for funsies. 4 month time jump. Robby is back but was away more than 3 months. All the main cast is back including Al-Hashimi, minus Mohan (just has the day off, meh). Joy and Ogilvie may return very briefly, not confirmed though. Emma is back! Smaller time jump to allow more of the cast to not move on yet and to do some cold weather cases. Langdon and Santos will be in a better place. Ellis moved to day shift.
Ok so that means were are getting Mel and McKay at least through season 4 (as they'll still be PGY3s in season 3). Might be Ellis' last season though, as she is a 4th year like Mohan. Not sure where Langdon is on the progression chart with his sabbatical, he was a 4th year senior resident in season 1. Them having season 2 be Mohan's last season and giving the residency program as the reason when technically with their timeline they could have had her in season 3 too is a little weird.
All depends on the time jump between 3 and 4. Based on this interview, I’d assume not a long one, but maybe the plan is to go longer next time. We shall see! We will maybe know a year from now.
four month time jump means we might get it set on Halloween! Though that might be a better setting for the night shift... Maybe they'll just put it on a Sunday so a plot line can revolve around a Steelers game
idk i think robby was right to sort of come down on al-hashimi for trying to justify working while suffering from a condition that actively puts patients, the hospital, and herself in danger. and i think when she brings up how he covered for langdon we’re supposed to understand a part of him regrets not coming down harder on him (he’s grappling with it all season) so he’s trying to handle this differently
i do not like how they set her up as a proponent of AI and an unlikable character in the front half of the season, seemed unnecessary. i think her story is a tragic one about the realities of living with a disability that prevents you from doing what you want to do
I don’t think she was unlikable, IMO. The AI stuff is lame, but beyond that, didn’t have a negative view of her.
We all think the AI stuff is extremely lame, but I really don’t think that the show was trying to make that point or paint it as some huge character flaw for her. The show took a pretty middle ground approach to it
I know you like to occasionally pick apart the legal aspects of this show. Here is an in depth legal analysis of multiple cases by an attorney just dropped today .
Yeah I’d say all this is accurate afaik. Though I only do criminal defense so I’m no expert in civil liability, and I don’t know anything about the specifics of Pennsylvania’s legal code Regarding Ellis and King’s discussion about the deposition: if it was an actual trial, then they would almost certainly be ordered to be sequestered, though the whole physicial sequestration concept is far more rare than simply being explicitly ordered to not discuss the case. But since I don’t do civil litigation and my state (like most) doesn’t have depositions for criminal cases, I have no idea whether that same thing happens during depositions. If they were supposed to be sequestered, then Ellis’s “monologue” would definitely not be some loophole around it if it was somehow discovered. But even if they were allowed to talk about it, if the opposing counsel learned that they did talk about the deposition (especially in the middle of the depositions), they would absolutely use that to their advantage on cross-examination to imply that the two intentionally coordinated their statements in order to avoid any potential contradictions (which, to be fair, is part of what Ellis was doing, even if her primary motivation was to assure King to not feel stressed). Even if the doctors insisted like “But what we talked about changed nothing about what we’re saying under oath,” the obvious retort to that would be “Uh huh”
That the only work a lawyer would do on the 4th of July is sending an angry email to someone complaining about working on the 4th of July
I think a night shift show would be good, but i do think we lose something focusing on them primarily. I think Noah Wyle is right about that.
Night should be a limited series with like 4-6 episodes. It’s not about endurance through the whole shift, it’s about how Abbott has accepted who he is and what his role means to him and how he deals with it
i don’t think we need a night shift spin off at all. not yet anyway. give it like 5-10 years at least let’s focus on the main show it’s still developing and finding its identity as a mainstay
